That is cock!
Might mean I beat you. That would be a result for the newbee
.
Glad we are playing. As I said I have no idea how to counter Sealion, so is a learning experience for me. Hope you do not chicken out and go Barbarossa.
You can’t not take England, in my opinion.
Hope you like what I am doing in Africa. Annoyed I forgot to move my SA DD to Suez. Probably would have been same result.
How are your chicken Italian Infantry enjoying the heat and flies in Italian Somaliland? I hear it is a shit hole even now.

Maddy is asleep, so do not expect my three goes until tomorrow morning. Enjoy your evening Garg.

Hee Hee!
I will let you win.

Sorry abot the Edit. I forgot to move the SA DD again!
The TT I edited was as I wanted to move it in Non Combat, but forgot it needs to exit the hostile SZ before combat.
Only in the bloody rules!

Scotland went as planned. I was going to place the two Mech in SA, but bottled it, when Scotland went as it did.
Maybe Sealion is a long shot now. Do you think you can reverse and do Barbarossa? I have 20 units sitting uselessly in England tearing up the countryside doing exercises.
I think you look good in the Pacific.

Am enjoying playing a seasoned player. (Still do not feel very hopeful.)
Can I ask you how you feel? or do you always feel like you will win?

You weren’t counting on those Bravehearts were you?
They are unreliable, untrustworthy and are forever falling over their skirts when they run.
